Pros:I enjoyed how it added realism but still allowed to to be a game. I love the new M14s and other NATO weaponry, as well as the new textures and models for old things. It breathes a lot of new life into this game.

Cons: Sometimes the AI doesn't come out "combat mode" and refuses to talk to you, But that's Xray for you.

Ok. let me start off with what I like. The NATO marksman rifles are a good idea, as is the idea of silencers for each caliber. Both of those things are realistic. Also, I liked the "Class" system, it added a fun new aspect of "Is that weapon really going to suit my class, should I really pick up with weapon", ect. I did like the new Modification system as well, and found it rather funny that I could put -both- grips on my Protecta (It's a Protecta, not a Striker.)

Now for the bad. The realism is mostly Crap to make it more difficult, The new weapons are horribly textured and animated, no new graphical improvements, ect. The "Russian voice dialogue for authenticity" is un-necessary. I personally don't want the paragraph about Flint's killing of the controller taking up 1/8th of my screen. Not being able to run more than 10 meters with falling over from exhaustion because I have 20 Kg of gear -Approximately 40 lbs- (Metaphorically, but that'd be more realistic.) Is stupid, Honestly. You're an elite USS operative, and you can't run with a Rifle, Pistol, 3 grenades, and the -VERY- small amount of ammo you can scavenge for 20 seconds? It's not even a dead sprint, its a faster jog. You can't even walk without becoming absolutely exhausted very, very quickly. I could carry more gear on my back and -run- with it, with a gasmask on. I spent more time getting ammo than I did nearly anything else, which is a real immersion breaker. You mean to tell me you can smuggle in Porn mags and tea leaves but not any ammunition? Doubled the modifacation prices... At least on the weapons you can mod. You don't even need new parts for you to be able to do many modifications to weapons, so "Not any spare parts in the Zone yet" Is just more BS for the pile. The new food system is horribly unbalanced, as is the Economy.

If you want realism, this mod is NOT for you. If you want difficulty under the tense of realism, waste the 3GB of space this mod takes up on your hardrive, then have at it.
